One of Ang’s harassers lost . . . Some kind of job? I’m not clear on the details, and I don’t want to name him or drag him into this further. Anyway, people are now arguing back and forth about whether he’s the victim or Ang’s the victim, and it reminds me way too much of when people argued whether Zoe Quinn or her ex was the victim, as if that fucking mattered to people other than Quinn and her ex. All of this stuff should be individual people yelling at each other, not thousands of people choosing sides!

I started thinking about whether I’d be willing to say “stop trying to get people fired for racist Twitter posts” or “stop trying to get people fired for attending political rallies,” and honestly, I’d say yes. I don’t trust you all to even identify the right person.

Back before ivermectin, there was some other medicine people thought was a COVID cure. I forget what. It treated some condition X, and the people who had condition X couldn’t get it because everyone was using it for COVID.

This one pharmacist posted on Tumblr about trying to ration the last few pills he had left. He said he’d given one dose to a COVID patient who was clearly going to die without it, because he wanted to at least try to save them. Then a certain romance novelist I used to respect sicced her followers on him, and they spammed him with messages saying he hated people with condition X and wanted them all to die. I think about that every time someone says this guy or that guy deserves Internet harassment this time
